Shopify Plus
Pre‑orders Built for
High-Volume Brands
Turn product launches into revenue-generating events before inventory arrives. Pre-orders let you build anticipation, create exclusivity, and drive early sales that compound launch-day momentum.
1 million+ pre-orders processed for stores like yours – get all the insights here to see how you compare 
Some of the brands we work with
Charge now, later, via deposit, or via a payment plan
Flexible Charging that Fits Your Business
Flexible charging across high-volume Plus catalogues: charge upfront, charge-later, deposit, or multi-step payment plans with stacked Pay Early discounts.
Pre-orders are all we do — launches, replenishment, co-op campaigns and edge cases at Plus scale. Built deeper because pre-orders are our only focus.
“I can't imagine a more comprehensive, feature-filled pre-ordering application than PreProduct. There's a lot of edge cases and varying requirements and scenarios entailed in a pre-order campaign, and the PreProduct team seems to have anticipated pretty much all of them.
The app works great and can do absolutely everything you need. We are using PreProduct for thousands of high value pre-orders - if you want a system you can trust with a similarly important campaign, I can't recommend it enough.”
Customer Max Limits
Set strict limits on specific SKU sizes or colors.
Variant Max Limits
Set strict limits on specific SKUs, sizes and colours.
Mixed or Isolated Carts
Choose whether pre-orders can be combined with buy-now items and other pre-order items.
Enterprise inventory governance: max limits, mixed vs isolated carts, Shopify Functions-powered checkout validation
Controlled overselling,
at Plus scale
Mixed or isolated carts; your call. Keep pre-orders in the same checkout as buy-nows when you want the AOV lift, or force them into their own order when mixed fulfilment is undesirable for high-volume drops.
Variant-level max limits and per-customer caps set the ceiling. Shopify Function-powered checkout validations enforce every rule at checkout, the iron-clad backstop for high-volume Plus catalogues if anything slips past the frontend.
"Game changer for us. PreProduct has transformed the way our small team is able to manage pre-orders. It's been a massive operational unlock. The app itself is intuitive, fast to implement, and fits seamlessly into our existing workflows. Oli's support has been exceptional. He guided us through a smooth integration that worked with our current fulfillment and inventory processes, and went far ..."
Communicate to high-volume shoppers and sell earlier without scaling support
A Shopify Plus pre‑order app that keeps customers in the loop
Maintain customer loyalty whilst running large-scale pre-order campaigns. Communicate via custom front-end wording, customer portals, and segmented email campaigns. Letting PreProduct handle pre-order communication from when the order is placed keeps your support team unburdened by the volume of pre-order tickets that would otherwise hit them.
Need to update the estimated shipping date for a listing that’s been pre-sold thousands of times? Send out an update email and let customers know they can check their pre-order portal at any time for reassurance and confirmation.
"Run, don't walk and install PreProduct! We've been a very long time looking for the perfect pre order app and can happily report we've found it! The deferred payment options and flexibility are absolute game changers, and better yet – the support and service"
Conversion settings for high-AOV Plus carts: installments, pay-early discounts, pre-order-only offers
Take more pre‑orders,
meet buyers
where they are
Let high-AOV customers break premium items into 2, 3 or more installments within a max schedule you set. Reward buyers who settle ahead of time with an optional pay-early discount. Stack a pre-order-only percentage off to reward early commitment on launch drops. Both are off by default, flip on what fits the campaign.
Installments
Offer payment plans so customers can pay over time. All through Shopify Payments, no BNPL required.
Pay early
Give customers the option to pay early. Reward early commitment with discounts, or just charge the full amount.
Built on Shopify Plus: native checkout extensibility, B2B catalogues, fulfilment holds
Runs on
Shopify’s rails,
not around them
Pre-orders flow through your native Shopify checkout — including Plus’s checkout extensibility (UI extensions, Functions, branded checkouts) — not a custom one that breaks shipping, tax logic or discount codes. Fulfilment holds pause pre-orders until you release them, then they hit your 3PL like any other order.
Plus-specific rails are first-class: B2B catalogues, Markets, Shopify Flow at depth, and multi-store roll-up reporting. Control how pre-orders flow to your ERP through order tags, line-item properties, Flow actions, or our API.

ERPs, 3PLs, and Warehouse Management Systems
Integrate with Your Tech Stack and Fulfilment Flow
Most ERPs and 3PLs don’t natively support pre-orders, leading to premature shipments and inventory sync issues. PreProduct solves this by supporting many different ways of managing fulfilment signals.
PreProduct applies Shopify’s “On Hold” status to orders automatically. When your inventory arrives, trigger fulfilment releases by listing or customer. When fulfilment holds aren’t supported, we work with the merchant to create a custom flow based on order tags, line item properties or Shopify Flow applied actions.
Choose whether to allow mixed carts (buy-now + pre-order items). If your 3PL supports partial fulfilment, ship available items immediately while holding pre-orders. If not, force isolated pre-order carts for operational simplicity.

Shopify Plus Pre‑order FAQ
How long does implementation take for Shopify Plus stores?
We have smaller merchants regularly sign up the same day they launch, using our auto-installer. For Plus implementations, we recommend 1-2 weeks from kickoff to first pre-order campaign live. This gives time for implementation, as well as tweaking the pre-order flow to your needs. All plans come with a free instance for your test store.
Do you support custom Shopify Plus checkout extensions?
Yes. PreProduct works with Checkout Extensibility, letting you customize messaging and supported discounts.
Can we test in a staging environment before going live?
Yes. Scale and Scale Plus tiers include a free plan for any test stores you may have set up. Test new automations, campaign types, or checkout flows without affecting production.
What happens to our existing pre-order data if we migrate from another solution?
Most Shopify pre-order solutions are backed by the Shopify orders admin, meaning order data is safe there. We can’t migrate past pre-orders, but can work with you to migrate current listings across to PreProduct.
How do you handle pre-orders across multiple stores and currencies?
PreProduct is needed on each of your Shopify store instances. The easiest way to check how many store instances you have is by the number of myshopify.com domains you have. We support Shopify Markets, so customers can pay in their local currency with automatic conversion on your end.
What automation options are available with Shopify Flow?
15 custom Flow actions (create listing, charge customer, release fulfilment, update listing discount, etc.) and 16 custom Flow triggers (Pre-order created, charge succeeded, charge failed, email sent, etc.). Build workflows that connect pre-orders to the rest of your Shopify data and processes. See our Shopify Flow documentation for more information.
How does the solution handle inventory syncing across locations?
PreProduct uses your Shopify inventory, whether you’ve enabled overselling or not. When using our Listing Manager automation, you can set pre-order rules based on inventory levels and tags.
What payment gateways are supported besides Shopify Payments?
Shopify Payments and PayPal support all pre-order payment models (charge upfront, charge later, deposits). Most third-party payment gateways don’t support deferred charging (charge-later models). PreProduct works with any gateway for charge-upfront pre-orders, but charge-later and deposit models require gateways that support card vaulting.
How do you handle authorization extensions for delayed shipments?
PreProduct’s vaulted card technology bypasses the standard 7-day Shopify authorization period. Instead of authorizing cards (which expire after 7 days), we vault cards and charge when you trigger fulfillment. No authorization expiration issues, even for long lead times.
Are you PCI-DSS compliant for enterprise merchants?
Yes. PreProduct doesn’t store card details; we use Shopify Payments or PayPal to vault customer cards. All payment data is stored and processed by PCI-compliant payment processors (Shopify Payments, PayPal). This means your customer payment data is protected by the same security standards that protect all Shopify transactions.
What does developer support include?
Developer support includes help with setup, as well as smaller customisations to your storefront pre-order flow.
How do you handle peak launch periods with high volume?
Our infrastructure auto-scales to handle traffic spikes, and we’ve processed tens of thousands of pre-orders per hour in peak periods.
Which ERP systems integrate with your platform?
PreProduct uses native Shopify APIs for catalogue, payments and orders, as well as your regular checkout. When ERPs or 3PLs need extra help, PreProduct’s API and Shopify Flow integration are waiting. Merchants often use the “pre-order” tag or line item properties that PreProduct adds to isolate orders in ERPs and 3PLs.
Can we connect to our existing warehouse management system?
Yes, as long as they support Shopify. If they support the Shopify fulfilment status of “On hold”, then no manual work is needed. If they don’t, we can work with you to create a custom flow based on order tags, line item properties or Shopify Flow applied actions.
Do you support headless commerce implementations?
Yes. PreProduct supports headless Shopify storefronts. They just sometimes need extra help on the integration side.
Is there API documentation for custom integrations?
Yes. Complete API reference at preproduct.stoplight.io. Full access to listings, orders, charges, and more. RESTful API with standard authentication and example code in multiple languages.
